England had played throughout the Second World War
without emblems on their shirts, but the Victory Internationals of 1945 and
1946 saw their reappearance and England resumed full internationals at the
beginning of the 1946-47 season.
Once more, navy blue shorts and black socks were paired with the
shirt, but the socks now had white turnovers. They had discarded the pairs
with a calf band, and hoops around the tops, in 1943. The following year saw
England recognise a colour clash with their socks for the first time and
they switched to a plain red pair, whenever they played Scotland.
Interestingly, they also seem to have worn matching red numbers on their
shirts, instead of the usual black.
They continued to wear red socks and red numbers
when they came up against a team wearing blue or black socks after the war.
As this was the case for the majority of England's opponents during this
period, they appear to have worn
them more often than the black socks.
More than one manufacturer supplied the kits. We
believe St. Blaize and Hope Brothers were two of them, judging by the style of
the numbers on the back of the shirts, but we are always on the lookout for
further evidence, be it photographic or from the shirts themselves.
The shirts pictured at the top of the page
were both worn by Neil Franklin. Simon Shakeshaft, curator of the Neville
Evans National Football Shirt Collection supplied the number five shirt in the first
two pictures and the one on the right was worn against Wales in 1948 and is part of Richard Clarke's 'Three Lions
- England Match Worn Shirts' Facebook Collection. |
